Black Diamond FreeWire Quickdraw Carabiner

The Black Diamond FreeWire Quickdraw is the perfect choice for the value-conscious sport climber: it won't break upon being stressed, but it also won't break your wallet upon being purchased (which, I suppose, is still a kind of stress). It features two wiregate Quicksilver carabiners connected by a durable 18mm nylon dogbone and can function properly in all sorts of undertakings.

This draw has been one of my favorites. Though people say that the lack of bent wire gates is a downside, it really doesn't matter. The dog bone is very durable and the gates are smooth. my only dislike about this draw is that the bolt side of the draw isn't tight at all which makes them rather floppy. Definitely a great one.

Yes there are probably better draws, this one is as simple as they come. But just can't be beat for the price, a great beginner draw. Great for everything. I would say its only downfall is it tending to get the nose stuck when cleaning the draw from a bolt.

First of all this is a great product, and I have yet to dislike any biners or draws from black diamond. That being said, the nature of this product has a couple downsides:- The wire gates can sometimes catch on gear loops and slings, and may be a slight hassle. I eventually got used to them and don't have this issue so much anymore.- No bent gates means that clipping your rope in can be a little harder.- They aren't as light as they could be. They're still pretty light, and I'm a big guy so I don't really sweat carrying 12 of these on a sling, but if you absolutely need lighter gear, you may want to find a different draw.All this being said, I love these things. Reliable, and they are the perfect size for my hands (I have large hands). Would definitely recommend, and you will be hard pressed to beat this price.

I have been rock climbing for about a year and have always had a problem coming down from a lead climb. My upper body sucks and its hard for me to tie off from the top. These long quickdraws are great for me so I don't have to pull myself up way close to the chains. I can finally take it easy on my arms and not wear myself out. They also make me feel so much safer. The way the draws are hooked lock the rope in better just in case of slip.

First and foremost this draw is a fantastic price and great quality. Not the lightest draw but the gates are great and the dogbone is heavy duty. You can't ask for more: Price, quality and practicality. BD has another winner!

I bought these to use with my hammock and to connect my tent and sleeping bag to my FStop Tilopa backpack. They work great for both of these purposes. I've been using them for around 6 months and they show little to no wear. Well made and works great for what I'm using them for.

If you are looking for a cheap and decent quickdraw, these are for you. I have 7 of them and they all are strong and sturdy. I don't have any issues clipping in/out and I would trust my life with these puppies...

I've use lighter and higher prices draws, but these ones are my favorite draws to use. They are strong and durable. IMHO. The wire gate makes it slightly easier for me to get the rope through, but that could be just me. Because I don't do big long trips or multi-pitches often I found these to be a good draw that doesn't weigh me down. I would recommend them to anyone, with the only draw back being their are light but not the lightest out there. That's never really been and issue for me though.
